When we were contacted by Dress for Success I thought it would be the perfect way to celebrate the power of style and support circular fashion. Dress for Success is a registered charity based in London, its aim is to empower women from disadvantaged backgrounds to step into the workplace by providing them with outfits and training for first job interviews.

“You can recycle the clothes that you no longer use or need and give another woman the confidence to secure a job and reach financial independence.”

Charity Day at Dress To Success

Dress To Success helps women to prepare for a job interview by providing them with professional clothes and styling advice. My team and I had the pleasure of being able to work with Dress for Success and give 1 to 1 styling sessions during our charity day visit. We also donated clothes from my clients’ wardrobes which were cleansed during wardrobe cleanse home edits with me.

“Your old clothes can turn into a new outfit for a woman in need, a new outfit that can change the way she feels both physically and emotionally, a new outfit that will give her the confidence to secure a job.”

“It was truly empowering for me to see how my job can have such an effect on the wellbeing of these women, and it opens the doors to opportunities for them in the future.”

Interviews can be a nerve-wracking experience but wearing an outfit you feel comfortable and confident in ultimately allows you to enter with a positive mindset. Wearing the colours to compliment your skin is an impactful way to dress for a job interview. In the photo above you can see that this pink shade really makes her complexion glow and suits her warm undertones. This outfit is the perfect mix of sophisticated fashion with a pop colour to add a bold statement which is great in an interview setting as you will you be memorable.

“It was amazing to see how happy the women felt after they tried on the outfits I had picked out for them, all styled with pre-loved clothes that were given away just from the wardrobe cleanses I do for my clients.”

You can start empowering women and giving them newfound confidence to take into employment by donating your clothes with us. Our team will allocate them between donations upon our next charity visit or sell them online as a percentage of the sales go towards a money donation to the charity.

“67% of Dress To Success clients go on to secure employment thanks to the clothing donation, coaching and styling support.”
